Advertisers ditch Carlson and Pirro’s Fox News shows as protesters urge companies to join them

By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow March 13 at 12:04 PM Some advertisers are backing away from Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News shows after the two high-profile hosts were accused of making bigoted statements, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

In one set of recordings, Carlson made controversial statements about child rape and comments that could be construed as misogynist. SHEEX, a bedding company, told The Hollywood Reporter that “due to the inappropriate statements of Tucker Carlson that have recently come to light, SHEEX has made the decision to cease advertising on his television program, Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

Pirro, meanwhile, has earned condemnation — including a rebuke from Fox News — for insinuating on Saturday’s edition of her show that Omar, who has criticized Israel, did not support the Constitution because she was Muslim and wore a hijab. Novo Nordisk, another pharmaceutical company told The Post it was “reevaluating” its ads on Pirro’s show.

Fox news needs to fire hire before all the advertisements leave

deray boycotts are a vicious form of bullying.

Pure certifiable haters and racist people that's fox

Because of the lies and venom that sprue from her lips as a public figure, that is more hurtful than helpful, her growth of wealth should not continue.

this failed australian unelected to any position in the states has more power than elected officials. time to break up his empire.

Would be nice if they only hired real news people and did their best to follow true journalistic ethics for a change and stopped being a radicalizing propaganda outfit, out to drive the uneducated mad?

FoxFake News 🤥🤥🤥

Please do.

deray Well, there’s always Mr. Pillow. 😂😂

Truly 2 disgusting individuals

Fox News , yes you FoxNews is a hate organization. The combination of the two words “FOX NEWS” is the definition of an oxymoron

rolandsmartin Get rid of all the haters. It is time that someone stand against these haters. Good riddance

I can’t read this without paying for it, ? That’s disappointing. I can’t retweet something for which others might need to purchase. :/

rolandsmartin Advertisers shouldn’t wait for protesters for them to flee from FOX, some of them are parents who have daughters, that alone should’ve made them bail as soon as they heard that FILTH!!!!!!! It’s shameful it has to take protesters to wake some of these companies up!! SMH!!!

rolandsmartin Thoughts and prayers

Good!!

pgmckim TuckerCarlson is a prison punk. He is a total scumbag and is a perfect microcosm of the gop! Pirro is just a wornout bitter old woman!

DonCheadle Damn, what took so long?

Bill O', Ailes, Carlson, Pirro, Ingraham 2 who else? Advertisers just move the ads from shows. They need to withdraw from the network. This is not a one off, this is systemic of the entire network. Who's sick of playing whack-a-mole?

I will hold my nose one day, go thru an hour of pain and suffering, collect the names of the advertisers still advertising in Fox and start boycotting them

These protesters are not much more then Hitler Youth. You don't feel like that do, you don't think like they do, then they either beat you up in public or maybe they just want you to disappear. The Hell with them.

That's really sad news... I'm sure there are more people who enjoy these shows than those who are protesting them.

But...Carlson and Pirro still have 'mobs' of pissed off white (mostly male) racist fans.

How does one joking use a homophonic slur?

Fake news

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

FoxNews If separation and hatred spreading media reporting☹️ is your goal you are truly succeeding with stellar achievements.😖😫😩

The FoxNews content is a throwback to the '60s. When in college during that time 1stGeorgiaNews_ and Alabama media was filled with the same type of bigotry on a daily basis. This type of retro speak does work. It makes people of color more reluctant to engage with whites.

They need to prostest

Wow

What happened to IngrahamAngle after she mocked mass shooting survivors and also said “shut up and dribble?” Nothing! They developed immunity to boycotts

To those who watch these programs how many of you called for a boycott of JC Penny when Ellen was the spokesperson?

bUt DePlAtFoRmInG dOeSn'T wOrK

When will TuckerCarlson & JeaninePirro get fired?! Why go after the advertisers?

DonCheadle Dats gotta hoit!

DonCheadle lol 'news shows' hahahahah

DonCheadle How about just ditch Fox altogether?

Progress. Success is when they are thrown out of their positions.

These morons are one of the causes of what is ruining our country!

That's what's up, they need to ditch fox period

Radio Rwanda

😁😁😁

BCarniello foxnews should be buried in the same plot as GOP and NRA. can make it a tourist destination.

I'm still wondering why the FoxNews twitter page has been inactive since November 2018. Are they keeping quiet due to pending litigation? Or they just couldn't get over the midterms? Would love some reporting on this.

If literally anyone still advertises on these shows they are doing so as a show of support for the topics and opinions discussed on them. I cant stand by any company like that.

When your a public figure or some random figure on Twitter. Guess what? Words matter. Regardless when said. The best you can do is try walking it back. But for sure people won’t forget. Advertisers should pull from any hate speech regardless if it’s about religion or women

So, advertisers are getting, pardon the pun, the FoxNews out of their hen houses? OK.

Advertisers who sponsor hate speech, also are sponsors of hate crime. Time for people to call out advertisers who consistently come back to these hate propaganda shows as soon as the story fades. Someone start keeping a list.

Love them they tell the truth and left cries

Those companies I will not buy from ever again

Yes 'protesters' are urging them. WaPo's just a neutral party, with their 17 negative articles on Tucker Carlson in the past 48 hours.

mama2fluffs Hash Tag DropFox is a great way to protest...keep retweeting it folks!

Still waiting for Honda and Acura to drop their support.

Good about time get these hateful lying voices off of tv where they spread it to ppl who are vulnerable or just as hateful

I guess their advertising dollars are only worth it if you are a present day racist, hateful talking head. But unearth some racist, hateful stuff from the past? Oh we won't stand for that.

Ralph Northam? Capitalism, Other companies will fill the gap.

Advertisers can do what they want. Boycotting them is only weapon buyers have, although indirect, to punish injustice. FOX viewers can watch Pirro’s innuendoes, twisted arguments or can demand facts. Their choice..

That's ok. There are a bunch more that want on at that time. You ain't hiring no one but your own bottom line

Yes, from fear of the mob.

DEPLORABLES Should Be Ousted! However, Considering the Anti-Role Model in WH (White-Lies House) & Reprehensible Rhetoric of Minion$, The Bar Being Lowered to Dirt Level, & What’s “Normally” Spewed... this Vile Behavior Can Not Be Unexpected but Should Be UNACCEPTED by US!

And they can’t even get the support of fox, I am so disgusted with the cowardice and lack of backbone in the head office

Fox News- if I want to watch crap, I'll watch my turds swirl down the commode.

Do any of these fake outrage asshats even know what Tucker said?

blahblahblah dumbassery

This is the only thing that works. Grab em by the wallet. Contact the sponsors and let them know that supporting vile & hateful shows like these means that they are vile & hateful too. And we will not buy their products anymore.

Giddyup!

Carlson and Pirro got Canned? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Who advertises on these shows, anyway? Aren't they all products to treat erectile dysfunction?

Seems all anyone understands is money.

The problem is they may be dropping Pirro & Carlson, but they aren’t dropping Fox.

Media Matters “protestors”

Interesting. What’s the flight data?

No brainer! If you support FOX you support their racist, mysogonistic, xenophobic, hate filled, fear mongering, self centered rhetoric. And, if you support those companies you are not MAGA! Boycott!

They had better not be that stupid

Ditch ditch ditch ditch

We'll still watch....

They need to be ditched even more!! Or we won't buy their products anymore!!

Good move to avoid toxic association.

the invisble hand is good

It is well past time. DropFox
